Misinforming the public

712:  

Because the dangers of an omnivorous diet are well enough known by our food producers, it could be the very reason why essential information is suppressed, or rather why people are swamped with ‘misinformation’. The Animal Industry is influential in our society; their interest is to make money from producing and selling foods which aren’t optimal to good health. But because they are so well established no one can touch them. Their insistent advertising is so clever that their products always sell well ... and the more the Animal Industries thrive, the more human health deteriorates and Animal Welfare worsens.

            You’d think by now we humans would have wised up. With such advances made in food technology, we should be demanding healthy food, but the animal business is so persuasive that nothing ever changes for the better. Mass production means mass demand, means low costs and a lot of sophisticated scientific ingenuity, which is being used to make foods addictively tasty.

Wealthy people identify themselves by the rich foods they eat and the aspiring classes emulate them. The poorest people eat the cheapest foods available, which are mainly plant-based foods, but whenever their circumstances improve they increase the animal protein content of their diet, and that unfortunately brings them closer to a whole new range of deadly, diet-related diseases.
